Retained by Jaymont to provide all architectural graphics and marketing materials for this 22 story office and retail complex in downtown Boston’s Financial District.
The retention of all existing Summer Street building facades was a unique aspect of this project.

The project identity was applied to a variety of marketing materials.

A folder system containing brochures, fact sheets and floor plans, was designed to provide all information needed for the leasing team and potential corporate and retail tenants.

An early site sign illustrated the project, its identity and the development team.

The 125 Summer Street fact sheet showing preserved old buildings facades at street level. The 22 floor structure contained 461,000 square feet of commercial and retail space at the corner of Summer and Lincoln Streets. The project was completed in 1989.

All interior signs for directionals, tenants and services were configured in a curved panel to reflect the buildings form.All, including regulatory signs, were finished in polished brass. Elevator doors were etched with a repeat pattern of the project symbol.

A proposed treatment for the lobby of the tower using the project symbol as a focal point.Materials were to be polished and rough finished granite, a traditional New England building material.

EXTERIOR RETAIL SIGNAGE

In keeping with the effort to retain the existing storefronts, a sign system based on individual letters seemed best suited for maintaining the “traditional” look of the new building. Overhead sign boards, gold leaf window identification and traditional sill signs were the basic design elements for all exterior retail signs.

Individually crafted gold leaf letters were recommended to reflect the design of century old signs.
